Yaj

Yaj, also called Yal, or Jal, is the northernmost city on the western edge of the continent of Amber. Yaj is the Amber city. Yal is the Rebman, but both are often spoken of interchangeably, causing confusion.

The Two cities of Yaj and the Rebman city of Yal create one symbiotic industrial-commercial hub for both nations. Because of the proximity and interactions of the two cities there is considerable overlap in Noble houses, commercial interests, and social activities.

While many coastal cities and villages have common traffic between counterparts in Rebman water, Yaj/Yal is a metropolis that blends from land to water with dwellings, businesses, streets and activities flowing over the shore.
